B. NGỮ PHÁP:

I. COMPARATIVE WITH ADJECTIVES (So sánh với tính từ)
1. Cấu trúc:
Tính từ ngắn : S1 + tobe + adj (er) + than + S2
Tính từ dài : S1 + tobe + more + adj + than + S2
Ví dụ : This book is smaller than that book. (Quyển sách này nhỏ hơn quyển sách kia)
This book is more expensive than that book. (Quyển sách này đắt hơn quyển
sách kia)
2. Cách thành lập tính từ so sánh hơn.
a. Tính từ ngắn : (hay còn gọi là tính từ 1 âm tiết. Khi thành lập tính từ so sánh hơn,
chúng ta thường thêm đuôi ER vào phía sau tính từ đó.)
Adjective Comparative
short (thấp) shorter (thấp hơn)
small (nhỏ) smaller (nhỏ hơn)
long (dài) longer (dài hơn)
Ví dụ: The green box is smaller than the pink box. (Chiếc hộp màu xanh nhỏ hơn chiếc
hộp màu hồng.)
- Với những tính từ có 1 âm tiết và có đuôi kết thúc là chữ cái -e, khi thành lập tính từ
so sánh hơn, chúng ta sẽ chỉ thêm đuôi -r vào phía sau tính từ đó.
Adjective Comparative
large (rộng) larger (rộng hơn)
strange (lạ) stranger (lạ hơn)
close (gần) closer (gần hơn)
Ví dụ: This lake is larger than that lake. (Cái hồ này rộng hơn cái hồ kia.)
- Với những tính từ có 1 âm tiết và có kết thúc bằng 1 nguyên âm và 1 phụ âm, khi
thành lập tính từ so sánh hơn, chúng ta gấp đôi phụ âm cuối rồi thêm -er.
Adjective Comparative
big (to) bigger (to hơn)
hot (nóng) hotter (nóng hơn)
thin (gầy) thinner (gầy hơn)
Ví dụ: The woman is thinner than the man. (Người phụ nữ gầy hơn người đàn ông.)

2
b. Tính từ dài : (Tính từ có 2 âm tiết trở lên)
Với hầu hết các tính từ có 2 âm tiết trở lên, chúng ta thường thêm more vào phía trước
tính từ đó để thành lập tính từ so sánh hơn.
Adjective Comparative
More beautiful (xinh đẹp
Beautiful (xinh, đẹp)
hơn)
Interesting (thú vị) More interesting (thú vị hơn)
More exciting (hào hứng
Exciting (hào hứng)
hơn)
Ví dụ: Gold is more valuable than silver. (Vàng có giá trị hơn bạc.)
c. Tính từ so sánh hơn đặc biệt
- Tuy nhiên, có một số tính từ dài không theo quy luật trên, tính từ có 2 âm tiết mà kết
thúc là đuôi -y ở cuối thì y biến đổi thành i sau đó thêm ER
Ví dụ:
pretty => prettier happy => happier

Các em cùng theo dõi một số dạng tính từ so sánh hơn đặc biệt như sau:
Adjective Comparative
good (tốt) better (tốt hơn)
bad (tồi tệ) worse (tồi tệ hơn)
much/ many (nhiều) more (nhiều hơn)
little (ít) less (ít hơn)
far (xa) farther/ further (xa hơn)
Ví dụ:
Kate's speaking skill is better than Pete's. (Kỹ năng nói của Kate tốt hơn kỹ năng
nói của Pete.)
